New Movie - Senna!

Hopefully, Netflix will get it soon. It's gotten rave reviews from the automotive crowd, but I can't imagine it will stimulate much interest from the summer movie go-ers.

Can't wait to see it.
 
yeah, I'm dieing for it to be released on blu-ray...

A teaser...................

Wow what a driver......now I want to see the movie....
 
Paul, I hadn't seen that, thank you for posting it.

"Dancing . . . with 1,200 horsepower and a manual gearbox . . ."

Amazing stuff, the highest form of athleticism IMHO. :yesnod:
 
1984 Monaco (WET!) race had me sayin' he was a reincarnated combo of Fangio and Clark. The best driver I've ever seen. Disappointed when he left Lotus, heartbroken when he died.

End of an era. But we got to see the most magnificent car handling ever, for the time he was with us.

...and don't discount Lewis, kids... he's got it, too. :wink:
 
Nice video clip, Doc.

Note the lovely, smoooooth feathering of the throttle in the turns (Senna's trademark). He hit top speed in the NSX, probably around 175ish?

The maestro at work, pure art. :yesnod:
 
I saw the movie this weekend in a small theater here in Austin. Well done but with the obvious sad and somber ending. They started by referencing the years, then the months, then the days and you knew what was coming. Everyone sat silent to watch the credits and no one said a word as we walked out. It is nice to see that his foundation is still helping youths in Brazil.
 
I got confirmation this weekend what a great movie it is. It gets great reviews, but isn't playing anywhere in our county. We get "The Smurfs" in 3-D instead.
 
He could be the most arrogant person on the face of the Earth,
but was one of the best of all time.It's nice to see racing movies being
released again.

Patton, John Denver, many, many more in contention for the title.
 
I saw the movie yesterday in Houston. Very, very, well done. I only wish they'd shown more of Estoril and Donington, because then you'd have a better appreciation of his sheer genius.
As it is, you don't see so much of that, you see more of his out-of-car character and his in-car ruthlessness, and there was more to him than that.
